Jim and Jim thanks for the interest. It is the little brother 250hp model. Sounds like your car is a real nice one but at this time I don't need any more cars and would like to sell it out right. I have been offered many great cars as part of a deal just down sizing a little. Good luck to those trading and selling their wonderful cars! You won't find another survivor, original, barn find like this one anywhere else.

Yes my car comes with the original owners paper work packet that has been riding around in the glove box for the past 53 years!

Curious has anyone located a more original SWC than this for a better price?

SW Vette

Hard to say, since you still haven't shown us pictures of the most important parts of the car, i.e. engine compartment, stamp pad, trim and VIN tags, undercarriage, etc. etc.

So an honest answer to your question would be, probably, yes.

Sw Vette- As I explained to you earlier that if you were genuinely a contender, not a pretender, in the purchasing of a SWC that I would get any documentation,pictures etc to you or your people if you were not sure of what you were looking at. If you are still interested PM me and we can discuss. Thanks in advance.

For the discerning buyer looking for an original automotive piece of history. I know its not for everyone but if you are looking for an unmolested time capsule consider this one. Documentation and pictures available upon request.

One of the most original 63 splits in the world, you don't have to do anything to it -but enjoy it! Been some very interesting possible trades but would like to sell it outright. Thanks 90k

Nice car! I have someone interested, what is the horse power? And can you send engine shots?

I bought mine red/red matching numbers drivetrain 250hp with one repaint; otherwise all original down to the brake master cylinders three years ago... After lots of detailing and restoring of original parts, adding aftermarket A/C and an NCRS Regional 93% Second Flight its price is now in the same range as yours IMO.

Frankie- I have heard your car is stunning,congratulations on A MIGHTY FINE RED ON RED SPLIT. Seems like everyone has a restored vette but the unmolested ones are the proverbial needle in the haystack. My greatest fun at shows is the look on peoples faces wondering how ON EARTH any car could survive 53 years of time without someones need to tamper-tinker with it. Everyone loves to personalize their cars especially a corvette!

Car is no longer available! Thanks for the space and interesting conversations
